All of the trips are a weird Carolina Panther blue for my category. I'm too junior to look at trips when I bid. But, you confirmed what I've been hearing. They must ALL suck!

They should be colored that way in the bid packet, too.

Along with a scratch and sniff patch, where you could scrape it with your fingernail, then sniff it and say,

"Oh my GOD, W.T. F. is THAT!?"



Glad I didn't step in it, but I'm going to have to fly it!

Now, I really do believe that a majority of DAL pilots wanted that removed in the last contract (equal pay for equal trips) which was one of the questions on the so called "survey". But for some reason, a clause is in the contract allowing a flow -up for rj driver is in our contract, but not equal pay for trips for DELTA PILOTS!

Someone please explain this..... rj drivers are more important that equal pay for DAL pilots?!!

So tell your reps you want improvements to ADG, that will fix the issue at last.
This is in more than one thread. Section 12 J. Reserve Duty Period Average applied at the end of the bid period addresses this. If 5:15 per qualifying duty period flown by a reserve pilot is greater than accumulated credit and guarantee, then you get the difference as pay/no credit above what you already have. It has been addressed, but I'm all for improving it.

Sounds like 80's got 99 problems. But, if he get's the 6th and 7th off, um…. he will be fine.

Better get the 5th off, too! That's my son's one year bday party. Nobody's happy if mama ain't happy. (my son doesn't care- my cell phone or a dog toy on the floor and that might as well be a million dollars suddenly in his reach)

I'm flying with an AU guy this trip. We've been eyeing each other suspiciously the entire time. I DONT TRUST HIM.

Now Purple Rain is stuck in my head. I hate you ftb.
